It's almost a no-brainer but apparently no one has thought of it yet so here it is:

 

QVC, at the end of a program, especially clothing like Denim & Co., why not do a quick review before closing as a recap. Sometimes, I called away from the TV, sometimes I'm half busy doing something else and watching QVC, or sometimes I forget what I wanted to order. By doing a recap at the end of the program, people like me can say "Oh yes, I meant to order that," etc., etc., etc. So good Idea?

For years, QVC did a complete (but short) review of each show at the end of every one - unless it was about one thing, like a Dyson . . . for me,  it was especially helpful on fashion shows , cosmetics, etc. as I could go back and do a quick compare.

 

I have no idea why they stopped this.  I am sure lots of us liked the idea and used it to review what we'd seen and possibly place an order we might otherwise not have made.

 

I would love to see them bring it back.

Re: End Program Idea

[ Edited ]

@From the Terrace Years ago, QVC did just what you are suggesting..why they stopped who knows? Not sure who is programming manager or making the decisions at the Q....but it is not the Q of old...I miss the Sunday Morning Silver Style shows and a number of others..Yesterday...I forget which thread it was but someone addressed the issue of the clothing being sold...the quality,value and convenience has changed.. Its like they are not listening to what customers are saying..just not understanding it all. With all the buying power why is the cost of items so high..about a week ago..whenever Judith Ripka on..there was a London Blue necklace..the video is probably still up...it was missing a stone..and quite costly...the week before Jill was wearing a new ring from the Joan River's collection..it was missing a stone, last year Shawn had on Judith Ripka's tennis bracelet and it was missing a stone..what is going on?

Way back when they used to review before with everything that would be in the show and also reviewed at the end what was left.  At the speed they go through each show now, I doubt they will go back to the previous way of doing things -- takes too much time.

I don't think Q will go back to "review of items" at the beginning of the show because most would flick channel sooner!

 

If you are interested in the particular show you as a viewer may stay longer to see a item. I'm a shopper now after many repetitive items, silly/loud/overbearing salespeople (aka hosts), long hours of presentation of TSV, and more I will browse "items recently on air" online.

 

Who remembers in the very very early days of Q you needed to call during item presentation for "special" price or it went up? Oh those early days of Q -- certainly hooked me 25+years later!

YIKES!   Posters here are constantly griping about repeats of the same thing.

That's what 'Items Recently on Air' is for. You want to review the items in a show? Look there.

Wow! you are good!  Did you work in QC in the day?  That missing stone in the $600+ necklace was huge.

And it wasn't just jewelry faux pas.  Many programs I've watched recently had items missing from a presentation, which made it awkward for vendor trying to do the presentation.    They must be breaking in some new employees but good grief!   It's not a charity, I'm sure the employees are being paid to perform.

But the funny thing was the price of the items....who ever prepares those trays for the hosts should have been aware..there are lots of hands involved before it gets to the set.....but it says a lot about the quality of the merchandise being presented.

 

Years ago, I lost a Judith Ripka earring..contacted her son and he sent a replacement...couldn't have been nicer..such a shame the line is not what it once was...miss the good old days.

This is OT. Forgive me. One of the things the Q used to do was a show called "Quick Takes". Like to see that come back.
